I  dove into your heart like  a pool
 But there was no water in it and  I felt like a fool
 When I hit  the concrete bottom  and I broke in two
 Ooh  oh oh oh oh  oh
 Walked  to the hotel through the door
 But the man  at the desk said you weren't staying  there no more
 And I felt  so stupid so sorry  that I called you a whore
 Ooh  oh oh oh oh oh
 You  were just doin'  what you had  to do
 And  I feel so dumb  for bein' mad  at you  ooh
 I  can't stay mad,  I can't stay mad  at you
 I  can't stay mad,  I can't stay mad  at you
 My heart  is full I've got no  room, no room
 I  grew up with my family
But  I did not want to leave and  I cried like  a baby
I  asked, "Could I ever come back home?"  and my Dad said "Maybe..."
 ooh oh  oh oh oh  oh
 So  I found a new place to live
 But I had trouble  figuring out what's not real  and what  is
 The big  city was so crazy  I could hardly even  breathe
 Ooh  oh oh oh oh  oh
 And now  I'm living  in a  fantasy
 And I  will always live  there probably  ooh
 You  could move in,  you could move  in with me
 You  could move in,  you could move  in with me
 The stakes  are high, the trees  are green okay!
 We're  all just doin'  what we have  to do
 Nothin'  will ever be  like it was back in 1992  no-o
 And  I can't stay mad,  I can't stay mad  at you
 I  can't stay mad,  I can't stay mad  at you
 My heart's  real full but I'll  make room, I'll make room
